  • Samba E Samba De Enredo Enquanto Patrimônios Culturais E
    Revista África e Africanidades - Ano 7 – n.19, abr. 2015 – ISSN 1983-2354 www.africaeafricanidades.com.br Um breve histórico do samba e do samba de enredo enquanto patrimônios culturais e instrumentos de brasilidade André Luiz dos Santos Silva1 as últimas décadas, o samba vem sendo reconhecido como a expressão musical mais tipicamente brasileira. A palavra “samba”, no Brasil, significa e já significou muitas coisas diferentes. O gênero musical desenvolvido no nRio de Janeiro ao longo do século XX, é sua acepção mais comum. Entre as inúmeras variantes do samba carioca, tem sido sublinhada pelos pesquisadores do gênero, uma diferença especialmente importante entre o samba que se fez nos anos 1910 e 1920 e o que foi feito a partir dos anos 1930. Quem falava em samba no Rio de Janeiro, no início do século XX, eram, sobretudo, pessoas ligadas às comunidades de negros e mestiços vindos da Bahia, que se instalaram nas proximidades do cais do porto em bairros como Saúde, Praça Onze e Cidade Nova, locais em que viviam, predominantemente, negros alforriados e imigrantes vindos do interior. Eram estas pessoas, muito festeiras, que gostavam de cantar, comer, beber, dançar, cultivavam muitas tradições de sua terra natal e chamavam suas festas de “sambas”. Esta mesma palavra era usada por eles para designar uma modalidade musical-coreográfica, a qual tinham especial predileção, que consistia na formação de uma roda, no centro da qual alguém começa a dançar e dançando escolhia um par do sexo oposto. A maneira pela qual esta escolha era feita, era a “umbigada”, gesto coreográfico que em uma das línguas do tronco banto chamava-se “semba”, suposta origem da palavra “samba” (LOPES, 1992; SANDRONI, 2001).
